Didn't we already go through the discussion of "don't use --force
anymore" ?? ie. use a more descriptive option like
--overwrite-exist-revisions ?

The name --force is not descriptive of what it actually does. Which
means we need all kinds of supporting documentation to detail it. But
if somebody doesn't read the documentation and uses --force according
to an assumption of *another* meaning... they could run into
unexpected and disastrous results.

For the few cases where something like this would be needed, I have no
qualms making people type a long option name.
